IEEE 802�1x

Advanced Mode

Enable this function if your network environment uses IEEE 802�1x, which is a port-based network access control� The network devices, intermediary switch/access point/hub, and RADIUS server must support and enable 802�1x settings�

The 802�1x standard is designed to enhance the security of local area networks, which provides authentication to network devices (clients) attached to a network port (wired or wireless). If all certificates between client and server are verified, a point-to-point connection will be enabled; if authentication fails, access on that port will be prohibited� 802�1x utilizes an existing protocol, the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), to facilitate communication�

The components of a protected network with 802�1x authentication:

Supplicant

Authenticator

Authentication Server

(Network Camera)

(Network Switch)

(RADIUS Server)

1� Supplicant: A client end user (camera), which requests authentication�

2� Authenticator (an access point or a switch): A “go between” which restricts unauthorized end users from communicating with the authentication server�

3� Authentication server (usually a RADIUS server): Checks the client certificate and decides whether to

accept the end user’s access request�

VIVOTEK Network Cameras support two types of EAP methods to perform authentication: EAP-PEAP and EAP-TLS

Please follow the steps below to enable 802�1x settings:

1� Before connecting the Network Camera to the protected network with 802�1x, please apply a digital certificate from a Certificate Authority (ie. MIS of your company) which can be validated by a RADIUS server�

2� Connect the Network Camera to a PC or notebook outside of the protected LAN� Open the configuration page of the Network Camera as shown below. Select EAP-PEAPor EAP-TLSas the EAP method� In the following blanks, enter your ID and password issued by the CA, then upload related certificate(s).

FD8361L specifications

The Vivotek FD8361L is a sophisticated network camera designed specifically for outdoor surveillance and monitoring applications. It is part of the FD series, which is renowned for its reliability and high-performance features. The FD8361L boasts a robust and elegant design, making it suitable for various environments while providing excellent video quality and performance.

One of the standout features of the FD8361L is its 2-megapixel resolution, which delivers high-definition images and ensures clear and detailed video capture. This camera can record at a frame rate of up to 30 frames per second (fps) at 1080p, suitable for fast-moving objects and dynamic scenes. This high-performance video capture is crucial for security applications, allowing for accurate identification and monitoring.

The camera is equipped with WDR Pro (Wide Dynamic Range) technology, enabling it to perform well in challenging lighting conditions. This feature helps to balance the exposure levels in environments where both bright and dark areas are present, ensuring clear visibility without overexposed highlights or underexposed shadows.

Another significant characteristic of the FD8361L is its Infrared (IR) functionality, which provides night vision capabilities. With built-in IR LEDs, the camera can capture clear images even in total darkness, reaching distances of up to 30 meters. This ensures 24/7 surveillance, making it ideal for areas requiring constant monitoring.

In terms of durability, the FD8361L is constructed with an IP66-rated housing, making it weatherproof and resistant to harsh environmental conditions such as rain, wind, and dust. Additionally, it is equipped with a robust metal casing that provides extra protection against vandalism, making it suitable for outdoor installations in high-risk areas.

The FD8361L also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, allowing for simpler installation by enabling power and data transmission through a single cable. This feature reduces the need for additional power sources, streamlining setup and operation.

With advanced features like smart stream technology, which optimizes bandwidth usage by adjusting the quality of streaming video, this camera ensures efficient data transmission without compromising image quality. Furthermore, it supports various video compression formats, including H.264 and MJPEG, allowing for flexibility in network and storage configurations.

Overall, the Vivotek FD8361L is a versatile and high-performing network camera influenced by contemporary surveillance needs, providing significant contributions to security and monitoring in diverse applications. Its combination of excellent image quality, advanced technologies, and durable design makes it an excellent choice for both residential and commercial surveillance solutions.
